I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and reasonably spacious, the staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was fantastic. The only downside was the lack of communication with clients and occasional language barriers with some staff members.

I stayed at the hotel, which had a convenient location near public transport stops. The rooms were clean and warm, but the old prison-style setup with victim's hair on the floor was a bit unsettling. The service was accommodating, but they discontinued the free tickets to the jazz bar. The dining experience was good with crisp salads, and the facilities were fine. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.

The hotel is conveniently located on a key road that leads straight to the Old Town. The room could use renovation and better furnishings, but the friendly and welcoming service makes up for it. The dining options are tasty, although not changed daily, and the hotel is a bit far from the city center. Overall, a good value for money stay.

The hotel is conveniently located near a big shopping center, situated on the city's key road leading to the Old Town. The service was nice and forthcoming, ensuring issues were fixed promptly. The dining experience offers great value for money, but make sure to avoid peak hours to enjoy a quieter breakfast. Although not in the city center, the location suited my family perfectly as our son lives nearby.

The room was spacious, and the bathroom was big. I want to thank the staff for changing my room when the temperature regulator was broken. However, the window insulation could have been better.

The hotel offers good value for the price; rooms are decent, but sleeping on the floor without a mattress can be uncomfortable. The staff is friendly and speaks good English, even though some may not be legally employed. The location, although not the best at night, provides quick access to the city center by tram. Dining options are ample with a variety of choices, including a buffet. Facilities are adequate but may vary in quality.

The hotel has a funky rooftop bar with live music, but the rooms need more cleaning. It offers a double bed but can be slightly noisy. The staff is friendly but lacks some hospitality training. The location is good but with some noise issues. The dining experience is pretty good, especially for vegan options.
